No need to check my paper, Richard, as I spotted my first mistake at no.54!
Hope I do better with the Musicians Quiz.
Congratulations on the £644 raised. Great result.

Hi Toots - you were far too ladylike with your toot for once ! I thought you'd get it from my subtle clue. You're within a gnat's f??t. I'll have to meet you in the car park at Auchmithie next time. Tee Hee

Thanks, Trevor.

My comment about the misspelt solution relates to the Spring Quiz.

Thanks again everyone.
